Influence of seasonal circulation on flushing of the Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2009-12-16)
We applied a three-dimensional general ocean and coastal circulation model to the Irish Sea in order to determine water renewal time scales in the region. The model was forced with meteorological data for 1995, a year with ...
Prediction of pile settlement using artificial neural networks based on standard penetration test data
(2009)
In recent years artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems with some degree of success. With respect to the design of pile foundations, accurate prediction of pile settlement ...
Cyclic loading tests on sandstone and limestone shale aggregates used in unbound forest roads.
(Construction and Building Materials, 2009-06-01)
This study examined the performance of two aggregates subjected to cyclic loading in a large-scale test rig. The two aggregates examined were: (i) a sandstone from Co. Cork, Ireland and (ii) a limestone shale from Co. ...
Cyclic loading tests on sandstone and limestone shale aggregates used in unbound forest roads
(Elsevier, 2009)
This study examined the performance of two aggregates subjected to cyclic loading in a large-scale test rig. The two aggregates examined were: (i) a sandstone from Co. Cork, Ireland and (ii) a limestone shale from Co. ...
Repeated load testing of two schist and limestone aggregate materials used in unbound forest roads
(2009)
This study examined the behaviour of two completion aggregates that were placed on a silty sandy formation material and subjected to repeated loading in a large-scale testing rig. The completion aggregates were (i) a good ...
A review of field performance of stone columns on soft soils
(2009-12)
The behaviour of stone columns has yet to be captured fully by analytical and numerical techniques, and predicting column behaviour in soft cohesive soils brings specific challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive ...
Factors affecting nitrate distribution in shallow groundwater under a beef farm in South Eastern Ireland
(Elsevier, 2009-07)
Groundwater contamination was characterised using a methodology which combines shallow groundwater geochemistry data from 17 piezometers over a 2 yr period in a statistical framework and hydro-geological techniques. Nitrate-N ...
